On September 27, Bengaluru's tech corridor, Outer Ring Road, faced a massive traffic jam, leaving hundreds of people stuck for hours. The congestion is said to be caused as residents were heading out of the city for the long weekend ahead of Eid-e-Milad today, a state-wide bandh on Friday, and Gandhi Jayanti on Monday. All this, coupled with Trevor Noah's show in the city, plus the rain, is said to be the major cause of the traffic.
